Tigra Plus - Modular roof tile - panel
TIGRA Plus: panel roof tile (modular) that combines the beauty of a modern roof with a new standard of tightness and safety.
Technical specification
General information
A capillary groove with lateral drainage ensures extraordinary tightness and safety of the roof against leakage. The applied technical solution, the asymmetrical shape of the panel roof tile profile, forces the contractor to follow the correct order of joining sheets by overlapping the capping ridge onto the base ridge (with the capillary groove) when performing assembly from right to left.
Recommendations
Transport and storage
- It is of course the best to unload in original manufacturer packaging, using mechanical unloading equipment.
- Unloading shall be carried out by the proper number of people, that is in the case of long sheets (ca. 6 linear metre) the sheets shall be unloaded by 6 people, three on each side. Special attention shall be paid not to friction one sheet against one another, bend the side edges or stretch the sheet. Steel sheet deformation during the unloading and moving can result in problems with proper installation (chinks in clamps).
- Galvanised and aluzinc steel sheets must be protected against getting wet!
- If the customer collects the product with his own means of transportation, the vehicle shall have an open loading platform allowing for easy loading and unloading, with the length suitable for ordered sheets. The sheets shall not extend beyond the platform. Proper anchoring of the sheet packages for the transport will reduce the damage of the sheet paint coat due to abrasion.

Maintenance and washing
- In order to extend durability of roofs and elevations it’s recommended to check and conserve it.
- Inspection – One time a year (best in spring) there should be inspection of roof/elevation for early detection of possible damage.
- Cleaning of steel sheet – Roof and elevation made of steel sheets require cleaning at least once a year. Stratifying dirt on steel sheet may cause uneven discoloration of lacquer (because of uneven impact of UV beams), and lower protection to corrosion(dust traps humidity on steel sheets which causes damage). Dirty and stained spots can be cleaned by soft brush and water (temp. max. 60c). If it is necessary it is permitted to use some light detergent (ph 6/7, max 10% solution). There also can be used pressed water(max. 100bar) to cleaning, however the beam of water cannot be applicated too near of surface of sheets(min. 30 cm), also it shouldn’t be perpendicularly to surface. Near the connections water beam should be directed to bottom, to avoid water of entering cracks near connections. With old surfaces of steel sheets we should deal with high cautiously. Cleaning should be conducted from top to bottom, and cleaned spots should be rinsed out immediately.
- It is not permitted to use scouring powders, nitro solvent, chlorine liquor, aromatised substances, substances with amon chloride or sodium.
- Damages – Possible damages during guarantee should be consulted with Contractor of roof/elevation and can be repaired only with his written permission.Repair of damages on small surfaces is done with quick-drying varnish. However painting big surfaces should be done with special industrial paints dedicated to renovating coverings. Painting should be limited only to special damaged spots (scratches to steel, centres of corrosion etc.)Preparation of surface to painting should be done with generally accepted rules. It is necessary to precisely remove all signs of corrosion – best with special brush or close-grained sandpaper. Then that surface should be undusted, degreased and cleaned. To degrease extraction naptha or water with addition of surfactant(best with 1-2%solution of ammoniac) can be used. Repaired spots may be different in colour compared to original steel sheets because of natural impact of atmospheric phenomenon (ageing of varnish due to impact of UV radiation)
- ATTENTION!– During inspecting, cleaning, conservation and repair all work safety regulations should be obeyed.Pruszyński Sp. z o.o. is not in charge of possible accidents during carrying out all following actions.

Assembly notes
Wooden grid:
- It is recommended to use battens with a minimum cross-section of 40×50 mm (depending on the rafter spacing).
- To construct the supporting structure, use:
wooden battens with a cross-section of 40 x 50 mm or 40 x 60 mm,
wooden counter-battens with a cross-section of 40 x 50 mm or 40 x 60 mm.
- To create the sub-structure for the roof covering assembly, use dry construction wood of at least C24 or KVH class, impregnated with agents that do not cause corrosion of coated steel sheets.
- Particular attention should be paid to the batten spacing measured from the same edges, which depends on the type of covering, as well as the even line of their assembly and the leveling of their plane.
- The wooden batten sub-structure should guarantee a level and stable plane for the roof covering assembly! Counter-battens are used to fix the roof membrane (underlayment – FWK) to the rafters. Roof tile panels are fixed directly to the battens. The sub-structure prepared for the roof tile assembly should have a level plane and right angles of the roof slope.
- Before spacing the battens, the module length must be measured. Remember that the measured module length follows the scheme below.
TIGRA Plus assembly:
- Due to its asymmetrical shape and the applied capillary groove solution, TIGRA PLUS panel roof tile requires a traditional assembly method.
- The capillary groove construction with side drainage in the TIGRA PLUS roof tile is an additional innovative protection that effectively drains rainwater on every roof tile module.
- The applied solution and the asymmetrical shape of the roof tile profile require the contractor to follow the correct sequence of joining sheets by overlapping the covering rib onto the underlapping one (with the capillary groove) when assembling from right to left. Assembly from left to right, as well as from the bottom to the top of the slope and in the opposite direction, is also permitted. Remember to maintain the correct sequence of sheets in accordance with the rainwater flow direction.
- Remember to use self-drilling 4.8 x 20 mm stitcher screws for joining sheets and 4.8 x 35 mm assembly screws.

Product description
Roofing tile with character
Panel roof tile TIGRA PLUS is a unique combination of a modern flat profile with a subtle nanowafe, giving the roof covering an elegant and timeless look. Its geometric lines and proportions make it perfectly compatible with both classic building architecture and its modern forms.
To meet the growing demands of investment products and contractors, the TIGRA PLUS profile has undergone a precise facelift. The result of cooperation between roofing experts and engineers is the application of an innovative capillary groove with lateral drainage at the bottom of each module.
As with any roof covering , correct assembly and ventilation of the roof slope are extremely important for the TIGRA PLUS panel roof tile. Check more on VENTILATION. Our offer includes a wide range of roof accessories and additives that improve ventilation.
